Since this is a friending meme about activity, how often do you post/comment?
Usually daily. Though I'm currently in essay time, so comments are a little off and on depending on my procrastination levels.
I feel like it takes everyone forever to name all of the things they enjoy in movies, television, and music. Let's limit this to the five things/fandoms you care most about right this second, or that you've recently squeed over, or what you'd like to meet more fans of!
1. Joss Whedon. Especially Firefly/Serenity, but I also loved BtVS, Angel, Dollhouse, Dr Horrible, Cabin in the Woods. And can't wait for Agents of SHIELD (and Much Ado). Seriously. Anything Joss = <3. 2. Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis 3. Comedy shows. Hooked on Melissa & Joey, New Girl, Cougar Town, Community, Parks & Rec, HIMYM, others. 4. X-Files 5. Crime shows done differently. Psych, Lie to Me, Leverage.
What are your interests and/or what are you most passionate about? (If it's easier you can limit it to five things.)
1. Writing (I'm focussing on finishing WIPs this year, and taking it easy/giving myself a break from the daily writing I've done in previous years) 2. Editing 3. Livejournal 4. Books 5. Meeting Firefly cast. (6/9)
Are these the things you post most about? If no, what do you post about? What does LiveJournal mean to you?
I post about these and RL stuff, sometimes fic. LJ is my online home, so I put a lot into it when I have the time.
Who would you like to meet through this meme?
1. Fans of the listed shows 2. Writer-y types 3. Anyone looking for an actual friendship 4. Animals that can talk and surf the web and such 5. People who use lj-cuts or spoiler cuts, and focus on the good in fandom rather than the bad.
and focus on the good in fandom rather than the bad.
That is a very good wish! Without reading yours, I wrote something similar in my post. Life can be so bad, when I am at the internet I want to have fun and not fight with people. In the end, we all love the same stuff, so why can't we go along? I had to learn that shows change and actors leave and new come, but still it can be interesting.I don't get all the hate sometimes. The end of Stargate with all the discussions hit me really bad (and then the same happened again when I came to the Torchwood fandom).
Right now I do a re-watch of seaons 3 and 4 of SG-1 and remember again why I used to love this show so much.
I adore Firefly and just today I was trying to convince an LJ friend to watch it. I'm watching BtvS for the first time ever this year! I'm very excited about Agents of SHEILD.
I also like New Girl, Community, Parks and Rec, HIMYM, and Psych! I've seen two seasons of Leverage and should probably catch up on the rest. I watched X-Files as a young child but should probably re-watch it as an adult!
I don't know what I would be able to say if I met the Firefly cast. Do you have any statements or questions planned?
I'm a writery type who wants actual friendship and focus on the good things about fandom (while being enjoyably critical of the bad ;)).
I met Summer first and said "hi" and completely froze and that was it. The next time, I was more prepared. I actually wrote little letters up and gave Ron and Jewel those... but then, that's back when the main convention over this way was only getting started, so I also got 5 mins to talk with them as well (waaaaay awesome! :D). Those I met after (Sean, Morena, and Adam), I winged it, and it was also crazy busy as Supanova was getting pretty huge by those years, so I barely had time to even say hi. So... mixed experiences. If you want more details, check my "Supanova" tag. The most recent years should definitely be tagged.. some of the older ones may not be though (I altered my tagging system since then). Must go back to planning stuff for Nathan, Alan and Gina when I finally get to meeting them. Have you met any of the cast (or cast for other shows)?
Yay, writery type. What sort of stuff do you write? :) Feel free to start up a random comment thread on my lj if you'd rather not discuss here btw.
It's hit or miss with the Buffy episodes so far. I raced through the first season and now I'm very slowly moving through the rest but I WILL finish it. I have DECIDED. lol.
I haven't met any actors from anything! That part of fandom usually goes over my head a little. I appreciate the fiction so much that sometimes I forget about the actors. I think the only actors I think about meeting would be ones that I know more about their careers. Like Tom Hiddleston is someone I'd enjoy meeting, for example, and Craig Ferguson. But overall I think that's not something for me. :)
We should definitely talk about writing sometime soon! Okay, the next time I comment on your journal I'll bring the topic up.
Hmm... yeah, I get that. I went a bit crazy with meeting celebs for awhile, but now I'm determined to meet the rest of the Firefly cast (3 to go) and then probably stop going to conventions. Other than Firefly cast, there are few actors I'm invested in enough to brave the crowds, I suppose? Tom Hiddleston and Craig Ferguson.. hmm. Would certainly be interesting. :)
Definitely. In fact, I just commented on your most recent post about writing stuffs, so... talk there. :)
Summer, Ron, Jewel, Sean, Morena and Adam. All were amazing, of course. :) Am hoping it won't be too difficult to meet Nathan, Gina and Alan. They don't seem to get out this way (Australia) much, if at all...

Awesome. I started an SG-1 rewatch awhile back, but I think I got somewhere around season 2? Far too many other shows to keep up with.

Well, I'm convinced. *adds* :)
